Some people say it's foolish to worry about soulless creatures overtaking the earth and devouring our brains. I say they've already won.
Blog Credo
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Marc F-ing Thiessen
I know Marc Thiessen. I went to school with him. So when Charlie Pierce uncorks the whupass on Marc here, let me just say... "Here, here!"
Marc was intellectually lazy and slightly creepy as an adolescent. Like Peter Pan, he never grew up.
The best line ever written about Marc was an aside in a school newspaper article by a friend of mine, Laura. (OK, girlfriend of mine.)
She was advising underclassmen which courses to take. She extolled the intimate setting of AP European History. "It's a wonderful, tight knit class, as there are only four of us. Thiessen never shows."
Thiessen never shows.
Indeed.
